Three objects AA, BB, and CC are moving as shown in the figure below (Figure 1). Assume that vAvAv_A = 12.0 m/sm/s, vBvBv_B = 9.6 m/sm/s, and vCvCv_C = 2.8 m/sm/s. a) Find the xx-component of the net momentum of the particles if we define the system to consist of BB and CC. Express your answer in kilogram meters per second. b) Find the xx-component of the net momentum of the particles if we define the system to consist of all three objects.

Question

Three objects AA, BB, and CC are moving as shown in the figure below (Figure 1). Assume that vAvAv_A = 12.0 m/sm/s, vBvBv_B = 9.6 m/sm/s, and vCvCv_C = 2.8 m/sm/s.

a)

Find the xx-component of the net momentum of the particles if we define the system to consist of BB and CC.
Express your answer in kilogram meters per second.
b)
Find the xx-component of the net momentum of the particles if we define the system to consist of all three objects.
Express your answer in kilogram meters per second.
 
both answers are not zero, tried that its wrong.
